Don't Neglect n" Weeds Now.
Practical Farmer
This is the time of the year when we
are all quite liable to let the weeds get
the start of us, and SO get the upper hand
We have cultivated and hoed the fields
and gardens very thoughly two or three
times, and now wjsk to give our whole
attention to hayiug or other matters.
shower starts a new crop of weed seeds;
they look very small and insignificant at
first, they grew large in an Incredibly
short time, and it let alone, will cover
the surface of the ground with dense
sward, which will prove of serious injury,
! l, - !,
Us untold trouble in the future.
A farmer should never feel that the
wedding season Is passed until the ground
freezes in autumn, or until II is to- cold
for weed seeds to germinate. Nearly all
cultivated crops are benefited by shallow
cultivation so long as the crop does not
so shade the ground as TO prevent seeds
from sprouting.
1t has been our own practice TO go
through corn field with light, sharp hoe
with wide plate, and scrape over the sur,
face cut out all late starting weeds, and
leaving perfect clean field that will re
main clean until harvest time. If the
previous cultivation has been what il
should be aman will go over a largo area
in n day, and the cost per acre will be
light. There are weeds in the corn fields on

do little, if any harm, to the present crop,
but if left 10 mature seed, will prove very
injurious 20 any ring grain crop that
may follow.
DR.. Sturtevaut, who at one time studied
this weed question quite perslsteutly
and almost made enemies by the course
he pgrsued, found that a corn field could
carry good many weeds late in the season
without ~ "a IN
moving them; but he stated that in the
usual farm rotation of corn, followed by
the small grains and grass, weeds do a
large amount of injury, and may posi-.
bly, make the grain crops Improbable 10
raise.
Weeds are not such terrible nuisance
if we will attack them in season, but the
trouble is, we neglect them until they be
come firmly rooted i'll the soil, or SO heav
lily rooted that they will continue TO grow
after being pulled up. 1t rarely pays 20
pull up weeds that are long past blossom
ing. Seeds partly filled, will ripen from
the sap in the stocks. Neither is il wise
to pull weeds and throw them into the
hog pen to Finish ripening their seeds,
as is the too frequent custom of many.
Throwing them into the street is little
better, for the seeds, will ripeR, and in
after years the roadside becomes nurse
ry of weeds, from which the farm and
garden will be annually supplied.
Kill the weeds when they are small, or
bury them where they will rot after they
have attained size. But whatever you do g,
OF however you proceed, do not let weeds
get the mastery. A farmer who cultiya-
tes more land than he can cultivate well,
and keep reasonably free from weeds,
ought to be ashamed of his work, and he
generally is. Weeds are unpopular, yet
like the poor, ye always have them with
you.
